A businessman received $21,000 for a car, transferred the money for his own use and blocked the customer.
Gina Masanga, based in Beitbridge, has been charged with fraud after duping Allen Badzariger. He was released on $150 bail after spending Tuesday night in a remand prison.
The court heard that between November 2023 and January this year, the two entered into an agreement whereby Masanga was supposed to buy a Mercedes-Benz car on Badzarigiri’s behalf.
Masanga allegedly received US$14,500 in two installments through his sister and US$6,900 he received personally to purchase the car. Masanga allegedly transferred the money for his own use.
He allegedly became evasive and blocked his client who later filed a police report.
